The initiative is financially supported by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). We look forward to working with them and trust that the time spent here will be personally beneficial in terms of their development goals but will also help to strengthen partnerships and develop capacity by advancing key development issues in liaison with their employers on return to Myanmar. The fellows will be in Adelaide until 16 June 2017.
